- TORONTO — REQUEST DENIED. U.S. fugitive Joseph Shepherd has lost a bid to avoid deportation to Tennessee, where he could face the death penalty. But while the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed Shepherd's deportation bid, the court also postponed the order until Dec. 15. Shepherd, 36, is wanted in the rape and slaying of two teen-age girls near his hometown of Tellico Plains, Tenn. He was arrested last year in Ontario after living for several years under an assumed name.
